Withdrawing fiat currency from your digital asset account is a fundamental process for accessing your funds. This guide provides a clear overview of how to find and understand the associated limits, fees, and processing times for these transactions. The specific methods available to you will depend on your region and account verification level. Logging into your account is the first step to viewing your personalized options.
How to Initiate a Fiat Withdrawal
You can easily start a withdrawal through either the mobile application or the website. The interface is designed for intuitive navigation.
Using the Mobile App
- Navigate to your Portfolio page.
- Tap the Withdraw button.
- Select the option for Fiat or your local currency withdrawal.
Using the Website
- Go to the Assets section from the main menu.
- Click on the Withdraw button.
- Choose the Fiat or local currency option to proceed.
Finding Supported Currencies and Withdrawal Methods
The range of supported fiat currencies and available withdrawal channels (such as bank transfers or card withdrawals) varies significantly by geographical location. To see what's available for you:
- Simply go to the Fiat Withdrawal section within your account.
- The interface will automatically display all the currencies and payment methods accessible from your region.
A Guide to Processing Fees
A processing fee is a charge that covers the cost of facilitating a financial transaction. Platforms strive to keep these fees as low and transparent as possible.
- If a fee applies for your chosen method, the amount will be clearly displayed before you confirm the transaction.
- If no fee is charged, it will typically be labeled as "No Fee" or "Free."
The fee structure is always visible when you select a withdrawal method. It's crucial to review this on the preview screen before submitting your request. The fee is always deducted from the total withdrawal amount.
For example: If you withdraw $10 using a method that charges a $2 fee, your linked bank account will receive $8.
Common Types of Fee Structures
Fixed Fees: A set amount that does not change regardless of the withdrawal size.
- Example: A $3 fixed fee means you pay $3 whether you withdraw $10 or $1,000.
Percentage Fees: A fee calculated as a percentage of the total withdrawal amount.
- Example: A 2% fee on a $100 withdrawal equals a $2 charge. For a $500 withdrawal, the fee would be $10.
Percentage + Fixed Fees: A combination of both types, where you pay a percentage of the amount plus a fixed cost.
Example: 1.5% + $1 fixed fee.
- On a $200 withdrawal: (1.5% of $200 = $3) + $1 = Total $4 fee.

What Are Withdrawal Limits?
Withdrawal limits are the minimum and maximum amounts you can withdraw from your account in a single transaction or over a specific period (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly). These limits are in place for user security and to comply with financial regulations. Your personal limits can be influenced by:
- Your chosen withdrawal method.
- Your account verification tier (KYC level).
When you select a withdrawal method, your remaining limit for that option is displayed. You can usually click an information (i) icon to see a detailed breakdown.
Types of Withdrawal Limits
- Minimum Withdrawal Limit: The smallest amount you can withdraw in one transaction.
- Daily Limit: The maximum sum you can withdraw within a 24-hour rolling period. This timer resets 24 hours after each withdrawal, not at midnight.
- Weekly Limit: The maximum amount available for withdrawal over a 7-day rolling period.
- Monthly Limit: The maximum amount you can withdraw within a 30-day rolling window.
- Maximum Number of Withdrawals: A cap on how many separate withdrawal transactions you can perform in a given period.
Estimated Processing Times
Processing time refers to the estimated period it will take for your funds to arrive in your destination account (e.g., your bank account). While many modern platforms offer instant or same-day withdrawal options, some methods can take longer.
- The estimated processing time is always shown when you select a withdrawal method.
- Times can vary from a few minutes to up to 3-5 business days, depending on the payment network, your bank's policies, and weekends/holidays.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I increase my withdrawal limits?
Higher withdrawal limits are almost always tied to completing advanced levels of account verification (KYC). This typically involves providing additional identification documents and proof of address. Check your account settings for verification upgrade options.
Why was my withdrawal transaction canceled or failed?
Transactions can fail for several common reasons: attempting to withdraw less than the minimum limit, exceeding your daily or monthly cap, entering incorrect beneficiary bank details, or due to unforeseen security reviews by the platform or your bank.
Are there any hidden fees I should know about?
Reputable platforms display all fees upfront on the transaction preview screen. However, it's important to remember that intermediary banks or payment processors sometimes charge their own small fees, which are outside the platform's control.
What does a 'rolling' limit period mean?
A rolling 24-hour period means the limit resets exactly 24 hours after a withdrawal is made. It does not reset at a fixed time like midnight UTC. The same principle applies to weekly and monthly rolling limits.
Is my money safe during the processing period?
Once a withdrawal is approved and processed by the platform, the funds are in transit to your bank. The security of this transfer is handled by established banking and payment networks. The platform's responsibility ends once they successfully instruct the transfer.
Who should I contact if my withdrawal is delayed?
If your withdrawal significantly exceeds the stated processing time, you should first contact the customer support of the platform you withdrew from. Have your transaction ID ready. They can confirm the status. If they confirm it was sent, you may need to contact your bank next.
